Scope and terminology
This Cookie Policy explains how casino-shara.com uses cookies, local storage, session storage, and similar technologies that store or access information on your device when you visit our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes broader processing of personal data and your statutory rights. References to “cookies” below include analogous technologies unless we distinguish them explicitly.
Legal framework in the United Kingdom
We comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 as amended and with guidance issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office on cookies and similar technologies. Strictly necessary cookies may be placed without consent where they are essential to provide a service you request or to carry out transmission of a communication. Non-essential cookies—such as those used for advanced analytics beyond aggregate server logs—require consent before activation. Our banner captures consent or rejection for categories that fall outside the strictly necessary exemption.
Strictly necessary storage
Age verification status may be stored in session storage so that you are not asked on every page load during the same browsing session. Cookie preference selections may be stored in local storage so we know whether you accepted or rejected non-essential technologies without displaying disruptive prompts on each visit. Security-related tokens issued by our hosting layer protect forms and administrative endpoints from cross-site request forgery where implemented. These items are proportionate, limited to their purpose, and rotate or expire according to browser rules when you clear site data.
Optional analytics and future categories
If we introduce first-party analytics that are not strictly necessary—such as longitudinal measurement using persistent identifiers—we will list each cookie name, provider, purpose, duration, and lawful basis here before enabling them, and we will only fire them after consent through an updated banner where required. Until such technologies are activated and documented, you should assume only the essential items described above run by default.
Third-party cookies from outbound operators
When you leave our domain by tapping operator links, those sites set their own cookies under policies we do not control. We encourage you to review each operator’s cookie list before creating an account. Our domain does not intentionally embed third-party advertising pixels from social networks on informational pages.
Managing and deleting cookies
Major browsers—including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Brave—allow you to block third-party cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you before storage. Mobile operating systems provide similar controls under Settings for Safari on iOS or Chrome on Android. Clearing cookies for our site removes remembered preferences and may cause the age gate and consent prompts to reappear. Using private or incognito modes typically discards storage at the end of the session.
Similar technologies
Local storage APIs may hold larger key-value pairs than traditional cookies but are subject to the same consent rules when used for non-essential purposes. Session storage persists only until the tab closes. Cached assets in service workers are not currently used on this static informational deployment; if that changes we will update this section before rollout.
Retention overview
Session storage tied to age verification expires automatically when the browser tab ends unless your browser behaves differently through extensions. Local storage entries persist until manually cleared; we store only compact preference flags rather than behavioural profiles. Server-side logs described in the Privacy Policy are distinct from cookies but may correlate coarse identifiers such as IP addresses for security.
Updates and contact
When regulatory guidance changes—for example if the ICO publishes revised consent standards—we will amend this Cookie Policy and adjust our banner mechanics accordingly. Questions may be directed to info@casino-shara.com. For broader data-protection enquiries including subject rights requests, refer to the Privacy Policy contact section.
Summary table (essential items)
The following conceptual categories summarise storage we rely on today: session-scoped age confirmation to satisfy socially responsible presentation requirements; durable consent flags so marketing-grade scripts remain off when rejected; and hosting-native security cookies required by our infrastructure vendor. Exact technical labels may vary between deployments but purposes remain consistent with this description.
